A Handy Guide To Wet Wipes

Post Covid outbreak, personal hygiene is given very high priority by one and all – rightly so. This has also led to products like hand-sanitizers and wet wipes omnipresent and available at every nook and corner.

Wet-wipes available today also make varied claims, from Hydrating your skin to making your skin look fairer besides cleansing, moisturizing etc. Have you ever wondered what those handy wipes you see everywhere are actually made of? Here’s a breakdown of wet wipes, their uses, and what to consider when choosing them.

What are Wet Wipes?

Wet wipes, also known as moist towelettes or disposable wipes, are small, pre-moistened fabrics made of non-woven fabric (like polyester or polypropylene). They come in convenient formats – individually wrapped for on-the-go use or in large rolls & dispensers, depending on the usage. Ideally one must go for bio-degradable or natural fabrics which are more Earth friendly than conventional wipes made using plastics, which are not environmentally friendly. When these plastics break down into microplastics, they can enter the food chain and disrupt ecosystems.

What's in Them?

The fabric is moistened in a solution which generally consists of water, alcohol, or other chemicals, depending on their purpose. E.g., a surface cleansing wipes would have a high Alcohol content for effective cleaning of surfaces. Facial Wet wipes, on the other hand must contain softeners, lotions, or perfume for a pleasant feel and fragrance.

Preservatives are also added to extend shelf life and prevent bacteria growth.

Go Green with Wet Wipes
There’s a growing trend towards biodegradable, organic, and earth-friendly wet wipes. You will see wipes with claims of natural ingredients like aloe vera, cucumber, or neem etc. However, in most cases, there is a miniscule quantity of natural extracts which are used in such products.
